The invention provides a method for recovering high-purity
lead carbonate from
lead sulfate slag, which comprises the following steps: (1) mixing and slurrying
lead sulfate slag,
calcium salt, an activating agent and water, then adding the slurried material into a closed reaction kettle, introducing
carbon dioxide gas, heating, stirring, and filtering after the reaction is finished to obtain filtrate and transformation
slag; (2) mixing and slurrying the transformation slag and water, and adding the mixture into a
centrifugal separator for
beneficiation to obtain gravity concentrate and gravity
tailings; (3) the gravity concentrate and an
acetic acid solution are mixed and pulpified, then the pulpified material is added into a reaction kettle, heating and stirring are conducted, filtering is conducted after the reaction is finished, and
lead acetate leaching liquid is obtained; and (4) adding the
lead acetate leachate into a closed reaction kettle, introducing
carbon dioxide gas, heating, stirring, and filtering after the reaction is finished to obtain high-purity
lead carbonate and a regenerated
acetic acid solution. Compared with the prior art, the method is low in cost, free of
wastewater and good in environmental benefit.
